When making this low carb cauliflower breadsticks, it is essential to use waxed paper or parchment paper on the tray to remove the dough easily. Also, it is important to mix the mixture by hand using a spoon instead of a blender so we won’t crush the cauliflower mixture. When you finish baking and remove the tray from the oven, let it stand for a few minutes before removing the bread from the waxed paper to avoid breaking it.

You can season the top with different herbs of your choice. I chose oregano and fresh rosemary, but you can use cilantro or any other herb.

Make Cauliflower Rice: Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble the size of rice grains. This is the same process used to make riced cauliflower hash browns.

Microwave the Cauliflower: In a heat-safe bowl, combine the cauliflower rice and butter. Microwave for 1.5 minutes.

Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the microwaved cauliflower rice, almond flour, rosemary, oregano, eggs, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.

FAQ

How to store cauliflower breadsticks

Store cauliflower breadsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to a month.

How to reheat cauliflower breadsticks

Alternatively, you can warm them in a microwave for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method is preferred for best texture.

What to serve with cauliflower cheese breadsticks

Should I squeeze water out of cauliflower when making breadsticks?

Yes, you should squeeze out as much water as possible from the cauliflower when making breadsticks. Removing excess moisture ensures the breadsticks have a firmer texture and prevents them from becoming too soggy or falling apart.

Why are my cauliflower breadsticks soggy?

Cauliflower breadsticks can become soggy if there’s too much moisture retained in the cauliflower. This can happen if the cauliflower isn’t properly drained and squeezed of excess water after ricing or steaming. Additionally, using too many wet ingredients or not baking them long enough can also contribute to a soggy texture.
